After the end of the "early spring day", it was only 9 o'clock in the morning, and there were still many things to be busy.

Brian walked out of the "Church of the Goddess of Nature" and made a rare call for a four-wheeled carriage on the side of the street.

"Guest, where are you going?" The person pulling the cart was a middle-aged man, cleanly dressed, dressed simply, and behaved very politely.

"38 Don Kok Street." Brian reported his address and got into the carriage.

Soon, Brian arrives at the "Catherine Show Troupe" and meets Mrs. Catherine sitting in the hall in the backyard, with Mr. Cole.

"Sit down." Lady Catherine raised her head and gestured for Brian to sit down.

Brian nodded, sat down in the wooden high-backed chair, and saw Cole take out sketch paper and a white quill, and said to himself, "Tell me about the situation in the casino the night before, try not to miss every detail."

"Well, that's how it was ...... at the time"

It took about 30 minutes for Brian to go through the casino in detail, and then he asked, "Mr. Cole, is this okay?"

Cole didn't answer first, but focused on using the quill in his hand to quickly fly on the sketch paper, quickly completing a character sketch, and then he merged the seven sheets he had just drawn together and handed them all to Brian.

"Look at these people, what's the difference between them and what you've seen?"

Brian took the eight sheets of sketch paper and looked at them curiously and earnestly. Flipping through one by one, the paintings on them were vivid and smiling, very real, they were all the people he had met at the table that day, but they were still close in some details.

"The bridge of the nose is a little higher, and the cheeks are thinner. These eyes are bigger and longer, and the lips are thicker......"

In this way, Brian described his appearance according to the characters in his memory, and Cole slowly revised the portrait on the sketch paper, and after another hour of revision, there was no problem.

After receiving Brian's final confirmation, Cole handed over the eight portraits to Ms. Catherine: "Let's investigate people according to these portraits, but considering that the other party is a professional, try to supervise and only investigate the identity, and you take Arnold to make contact, which can reduce some unnecessary casualties."

"Well, Arnold is still thinking about the 'performance ceremony', it's inconvenient to disturb, and when noon I will hand over the portrait to the inspectorate, let them investigate it first, and then I will go to investigate with Arnold." Ms. Catherine nodded in agreement.

"It's okay not to bother, we can't help him in this regard, after all, we can't create any good poetry."

Brian sat down in the wooden chair, and when Lady Catherine was almost done talking to Cole, he told them about the need to perform a house magic tomorrow, hoping to get some advice.

……

On the morning of September 2nd.

Si's Street is a well-known wealthy area in Puze City, which is full of wealthy people, most of whom are wealthy people who own property, merchants, and even some nobles with real power.

At 15 St. Stord's Street, it's a 400-square-metre medium-sized field owned by a family named Huntington.

Inside the villa, dozens of servants are busy arranging and preparing for the banquet that will come soon. In the second bedroom of the villa, the blonde Miles Huntington stands in front of a 2-meter-high mirror, constantly taking care of his appearance.

Thinking that it was almost enough, Miles finally straightened the neckline of his red tuxedo, and walked straight out of the room, past the passing maids, and came to the master bedroom door of the villa.

He twisted open the door and saw two figures in the beautiful room, one male and one female. Both of them are middle-aged, the man is lying on the big bed, his breath is dying, and sparse white hair can occasionally be seen on his forehead. The woman was dressed plainly, wearing a simple pale yellow dress, and was sitting on the edge of the bed with a worried expression, taking care of the man

"Mother, father, is he getting better?"

Myers' mother was named Blanche Felix, now Blanche Huntington. He used to be an ordinary person living in poverty, and his family didn't have much money, but he was okay. Thirty years ago, he met Miles' father, Malediz Huntington, and the two fell in love and got married, and they have been until now.

Ms. Blanche shook her head slightly to say no, and then she soaked the towel with the hot water she had just brought in, twisted it dry, and gently wiped her face as she grew haggard.

Looking at his father, who had been seriously ill for more than ten days, Miles was complicated, and he still couldn't accept the reality.

Obviously, more than ten days ago, their family was still a well-known wealthy merchant family in Puze City, how could it be that at this time, my father was so sick that there was no cure, and the family was about to have nothing?

"Ahem......" Malediz coughed a few times involuntarily, and when his throat improved slightly, he half-lay on the bed with all his might, and while reaching out to hold his wife's person, he looked at his son and asked, "Miles, how are your eldest brother and second sister?"

Miles was stunned for a moment, not expecting his father to be concerned about this question. Then anger ignited in his heart, and he wanted to vent outward, but after seeing the scene in front of him, he felt a pain in his heart, and finally said calmly and slowly:

"The two of them have already divided up all the property, and they are starting to replace your father's manpower and replace it with their own people, and they don't have time to come over."

"Ahem......" Malediz coughed again before nodding slightly: "Got it, have you sent all the invitations?"

Miles thought for a moment and made his own judgment based on the facts: "Most people have accepted the invitation, but I feel that there will be very few people who come, and even if they come, I am afraid they will not be willing to help us, after all...... Our situation is not rosy. ”

After Malediz became seriously ill more than ten days ago, many families who had conflicts with the Huntington family were openly or covertly, crowding out and targeting the Huntington family's property, and even allowing some underground "rats" to harass and threaten.

At the beginning, thanks to Malediz's many years of experience in business, he could barely hold on. However, after the rapid decline in health, Maldez's eldest son and second daughter took him by surprise, and the family business began to fall out of Maldez's control.

In order to salvage the situation, Maldez decided to hold a banquet in the hope of getting help and financial support from others.
